N / Re: N Scale 2-8-4 won't run on DC

Thanks for the good replys.  I reset CV8 to 8 and now the 2-8-4 will run on DC.  It is interesting to compare how the loco runs on DC with how it runs on DCC.  DCC is much smoother.  I have an MRC 1500 power pack and always keep Momentum turned off.

N / N Scale 2-8-4 won't run on DC
December 05, 2015, 01:34:46 PM
I can run both DC and DCC on my N scale layout.  My 2-8-4 runs fine on DCC, but I only get sound when I turn the DC voltage up to about 5.75.  As I turn the DC voltage up to 10 or 12 - the sound continues but the engine does not move.  Is there a CV I need to check/change?  Any other ideas?
